Boycott US
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Consumerism isn't why the 97% suffer, the reason is our refusal to tax the 3% because people still fall for Republican lies.
I'm not saying consumerism is the reason we suffer.
We are entrapped by consumerism. It is fed to us daily. It is so hard to escape it. It's entirely on purpose - it feeds the 3% (btw I pulled that number out of my ass, it's probably 1%).
We are expected to consume, and reminded every day. It's just another added pressure on our backs.
If we did tax the rich, this wouldn't be a problem. But the rich maintain the reigns of power, so they keep feeding us bullshit to try and trick us into excess (when it isn't really close to excess compared to them).
Consumerism is a symptom, just like private healthcare insurance is a symptom. It's all meant to force us down, force us to worry about anything other that the grind that they push.
